Long time reader, first time poster!

I have had an order since 2020. Spring of 2021 I updated my build and assumed it would hopefully happen that year. While waiting, I was looking up Bronco Off Road Rodeo locations and noticed I couldn’t access some portions of the site. I kept putting in my order number and it wouldn’t log me in. Called my dealer, and somehow, someway, my order had disappeared. So they offered to let me take over another customers build who was also fairly early but had backed out the day before. The dealership hasn’t canceled their order in the system yet. I thought the Everglades package was pretty cool and had all the upgrades I wanted from the factory, plus the square fenders and wheels. So I changed it to an Area 51 Everglades.

Several more months later I called the dealer and canceled my order. Too much waiting and uncertainty, tough for a large financial purchase. I honestly thought maybe in a couple of years when you can get one like purchasing a normal car.

Friday my dealership called me and said my Bronco Everglades just came in on the truck, and they felt bad about how everything went down with the lost order. They wanted to offer the chance for me to buy it first AT MSRP like we had originally agreed.

Completely shocked. I drove in to see it and it looked better in person. Just couldn’t say no And absolutely love it for the couple of days I’ve had it.

There’s a few good bronco stories left out there I hope!

Great story, but I don't see any photos of your Bronco, just a question mark in a little box. Did you delete your photos?

I came close to cancelling a couple weeks ago due to the lack of communication and uncertainty in the whole process, getting tired of it. I went in to get my order updated to a 23 a couple times and my salesman just says "no you don't have to do anything, we are just waiting to hear from ford" blah blah had no idea. But I finally got an email from Ford saying my 23 was ordered and my wife talked me into hangimg in there for a while (still no build date or anything). So I'll give it some more time and see what happens, luckily its a want and not a need thing.

OP? You still with us? Still just one post on a new account, and now the pics are missing? Did someone inbox you with an offer? :) Hope the silence doesn't mean the dealer screwed you after all.
